>Ruling is hard. This was maybe my answer to Tolkien, whom, as much as I admire him, I do quibble with. Lord of the Rings had a very medieval philosophy: that if the king was a good man, the land would prosper. We look at real history and it’s not that simple. Tolkien can say that Aragorn became king and reigned for a hundred years, and he was wise and good. But Tolkien doesn’t ask the question: What was Aragorn’s tax policy? Did he maintain a standing army? What did he do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these orcs? By the end of the war, Sauron is gone but all of the orcs aren’t gone – they’re in the mountains. Did Aragorn pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby orcs, in their little orc cradles?
now that the dust has settled can we agree that he's a hack who thinks autistic micromanaging is equal to good writing?
If he's ever unironically compared himself to Tolkien he should be hanged on general principle.
GRRM is a guy who has more fun ideas than he has writing ability. He has a point though in that quote.
he hasn't finished his series... how is the "dust settled"?
Could this be made today?
Unlikely.

I don't know how old you think the film is but it was only made in 2010

Why is it that the Universal Monster remakes don't work?
Because they keep trying to remake them as big franchise films instead of horror movies.
Herzogverse when?
and they keep remaking horror icons as non horror movies
>Will there ever another be a trilogy like Lord Of The Rings or did it create a bar that cannot be matched?
If there is one it won't be for a very long time, especially with the way pedowood is going now.

Also, the new season is weak as shit. Why do the 24/7 streams on youtube only show the new season? The older stuff was the best especially the later seasons before it got TBS'd.

I remember when they redesigned the ride to look like the movies and include Jack Sparrow and shit. The ride was great before that shit but of course they had to redesign it for the shekels and appeal to the kids. Yeah I'm bitching about a kid's ride in an amusement park appealing to kids, get at me.
How soon until history books are re-written to be politically correct?
>>84460090
I don't see what's wrong with that. I mean it's an amusement park not a goddamn museum exhibit, it needs to be watered down to lowest common denominator
Wouldn't you agree?

Edgar Wright's entire career was a mistake.
>>84459059
these were all the problems i had with the movie as well, but i nevertheless enjoyed it. i found the movie to be fun.
i also disliked how he tried to make the MC a really cool dude and get us on board with all the old tunes, cashing in on Guardians and stuff... i know exactly what he was going for, and he failed imo. but it was still an enjoyable movie, i think.
>>84459059
>>Baby is literally Driver ™ but with less autism
You know that the Driver wasn't a very original character, right? Both Refn and Wright took a ton of inspiration from old getaway driver films.
>>Handsome Mad Men Man becomes Heel in the last 15 min for no reason
He becomes a heel because Baby fucking up the getaway lead to the death of his wife. How do you not understand this? Are you mentally retarded?
>>"""""""" hot """""""" chick dies for no reason
I repeat, are you mentally retarded? Her death gives Mad Men Man motive to kill Baby.
>>Jamie foxx hates baby for no reason
He was a psychopath who was annoyed by Baby's autism.
>>diner chick is on baby's dick for no reason
He's young, good looking and has charisma. Tons of women would fall for Baby.
>>Kevin Spacey literally changes from heel to good guy for no fucking reason / gives baby tapes just because he likes to see a relationship work?
Okay, I'll admit that Spacey's turn was a bit odd but it didn't ruin the film.
Most of your criticisms are minor nitpicks.

Just watched this for the first time and it's the most reddit movie I've ever seen. Any of you fags actually like this shit?
>>84458192
The average age on 4chan is around 13-14 nowadays, so of course plenty of fags here will like it.
Personally, I thought it was one of the least funniest movies I have ever seen. Even Schindler's List was funnier.
>>84458192
I ironically liked it
>>84458192
I just watched this and I spent the entire movie repeating the words "This is reddit, this is memes, this is reddit, this is memes..." under my breath.
I fucking hated it. I was writhing around on the floor in front of my sofa for the last 30 minutes it was so painful.

>pic related is the only anime that I can bear to watch
How do weeaboo fags and anime nerds actually enjoy anything besides this? No other anime has actually held any sort of legitimate themes or motifs like Akira has. Like 99% of other anime is typically just pow pow, action, and big boobies. Literally no better than those cookie cutter Marvel films.
The most ironic part about it is that one of the main themes of Akira is the bastardization and death of Japanese culture. Guess what? You needn't look further than the rest of the anime genre to see this theme in action.
Reminder the rise of /v/edditors coming over to /tv/ as a result of Bane memes has led to a shift in taste on /tv/
99% of the anime threads here are made by /v/edditors who only watch LE EPIC MANIME shonen trash and are too scared to post on /a/ because no one wants to talk about the same 5 old classic anime that only entry level newfaggots know about. Then they cry about /a/ having shit taste and proceed to buy their next avengers movie ticket.
/a/ has actually done a fantastic job at keeping out you /v/eddit scum and so all you faggots come crying here because no one wanted to accommodate your newfaggotry.
Also you all treat /tv/ as a place to ask for recommendations when >>>/wsr/ was made to deal with garbage threads like these that aren't actually discussing anything. This thread should be deleted but since /tv/ mods are garbage it won't
>>84457438
I'm not asking for recommendations, ya tardo. I'm trying to prompt discussion on why people enjoy garbage like anime, and how Akira seems to be the only worthwhile anime (film or otherwise) in existence. I never said anything about shonen, as if I even know what the fuck that is.
Can you not offer up something to the discussion? Try and bring something to the table. Have you ever seen an anime, besides Akira, that had any meaningful themes?
